Admitted to Elon UniversityRecognize how much of a blessing it is that you can offset your four-year GPA with your two-hour LSAT score. STUDY FOR THE TEST AND TAKE PREP TESTS WEEKLY.
Do not be afraid of a gap year! I was so close to settling with my LSAT score and applying to schools I was less excited about. It was scary to leave the education system for the first time, but it was absolutely a positive experience, gave me time to study, and helped me save some money for law school. My outcomes…
LSAC slaughtered my GPA (how the fuck do withdrawals count?). My LSAC GPA is actually sub-2. Degree GPA is 3.1. I wrote a really nice addendum. LSAT Strategy- I had an extremely demanding job while studying for LSAT. I’m fine at LR and RC, so I just spent all possible time doing logic games over and over and over…
This process is long and challenging for a reason. It’s meant to weed out those who don’t have the willpower. Remember that you can do anything you set your mind to! ❤️
Work so hard that it is UNREASONABLE for you NOT to succeed. Always, Always, Always, BET ON YOU!!
Went through A TON during my undergrad hence my GPA. I refuse to let it stop me and you shouldn’t either. I also had a fee wavier for all schools, hence why I applied to so many. Now wishing I didn’t….
Never reveal everything you know.
**LSAT Info: ** My initial LSAT was 164, and I applied to most of these schools with that score.

Do not be…

I am creating this profile so people can come journey with me and my specific situation. I have been out of undergrad for a little over 4 years and currently hold a Director Position for a non-profit. I was about a 3.0 Student in Undergrad and did the exact same in my Masters program (MPA for those who have read…
**Advice for future applicants: ** Your practice tests are not necessarily reflective of what you’ll score on the real LSAT. Be careful gassing yourself up with these PTs because your actual score might be disappointing. Also, try to apply earlier in the cycle. I took the LSAT 3 times thinking I could score higher…
You stats aren’t the only thing that matters. Ensure your softs are as strong as they can possibly be If you choose to be on reddit, be kind and seek reasonable advice (however people’s opinions aren’t the end all be all) Again, if you choose to be on reddit, be kind. Law schools are on reddit too Shoot your shot,…
I ended up at CUNY Law and feel very much like I am in the right place for myself :) The application process is wild and I know how anxious you’re feeling if you landed on my page but I can tell you… I was terrified and as you can see, nervously applied to so many schools with my very average stats… but despite…
Follow the applicant data that comes out. Judging by the data that came out, this is a competitive cycle at reach schools and for scholarship $ at target schools. When I was rejected from my reach schools, I decided to send a second wave of applications. When looking at scholarships, consider your total cost…
Don’t be scared of a school’s “sticker price” - you’re not paying it! Apply even if it would take a huge scholarship for you to go. You never know!
